Donīt know if this is standard info, but since my cousin told me this years ago, I do it all the time.
When you check in for your flight, ask the person at the counter for a seat in the "Emergency row." Thatīs the row in the middle of the plane that has those emergency doors.
Why that row, you ask? Itīs because you get massive leg room. That isle has to be extra wide for that massive rush of people in case the plane has to make an emergency evacuation at an airport or what not.

The people sitting on that row, like me, in theory, should help facilitate the evacuation. Itīs never happened, and I pray that it never will

Ask for that seat and youīll have ample room to stretch and walk and you wonīt have to bother your seat mates to move so you can take a trip to the bathroom B) .

On that note, ask for an isle seat too and youīll have quicker access to the baņo and for exiting the plane.
